Each year, millions of pulmonary nodules are identified incidentally or through lung cancer screening, and many involve biopsy to distinguish cancer from benign processes. Both navigational broncho ...

Since 15-gauge is a relatively similar size, 15-gauge nails are also useful for such tasks, though you'd be better off using these larger nails on slightly thicker trim.
